I took your advice, in fact I stepped down to 5NL (.01/02 deepstack) and I opened 4 tables. I've done this for a couple days and my win rate is in the 9-11BB/100 range so far over 1.5K hands (not really a sample i know and it includes some hands from awhile back) but the rate is far from the point - my awareness has increased and I've noticed that I'm more positionaly aware and I feel sort of 'in the game' to the point where I can anticipate my opponents moves based on my reads.

Lowering the # of open tables definately brings the feel and flow aspect back into the game rather than robotic chaos clicking over numerous boxes labeled POKER TABLE in hopes of moving up 'faster'.

I've decided to listen to you - and actually apply what your telling me here, since afterall, I'm here to improve and it's certain you know what your talking about. Once I feel I'm crushing 5NL I'll be back at 10NL since I want that level's win rate higher before I jump up to 25NL. It's gotta improve be if I aspire to play bigger games and I know it.
